  • Confused about the many ebook/manga management solutions

    Jump

  • Ebooks: I use Calibre locally and Calibre-web on the server (read-only metadata db, I overwrite with the Calibre version as tagging, etc is far easier on desktop).

    You can connect Koreader to Calibre-web and until maybe a fortnight ago you could jailbreak a Kindle and use Koreader instead of the default software. Now you'll need to manually move files over, or use the email-to-Kindle option (probably a bad idea, but I expect Amazon can tell if you've side loaded pirated content anyway). Nowadays I buy from not-Amazon sources, strip any DRM and send it over.

    Manga/comics/graphic novels: I use Kavita on the server and I use comictagger on desktop to fix the metadata.

    I'm happy to use different set ups for the different types as they're quite different experiences and specialist tools work better.

  • It uses a neutral net that he designed and trained, so it is AI. The public's view of "AI" seems mostly the generation stuff like chatbots and image gen, but deep learning is perfect for science and medical fields.

  • I found his paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/ad7fe6 (no paywall 😃)

    From the intro:

    VARnet leverages a one-dimensional wavelet decomposition in order to minimize the impact of spurious data on the analysis, and a novel modification to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to quickly detect periodicity and extract features of the time series. VARnet integrates these analyses into a type prediction for the source by leveraging machine learning, primarily CNN.

    They start with some good old fashioned signal processing, before feeding the result into a neutral net. The NN was trained on synthetic data.

    FC = Fully Connected layer, so they're mixing FC with mostly convolutional layers in their NN. I haven't read the whole paper, I'm happy to be corrected.

  • Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.

  • I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and topped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.

  • I HATE those sites where popups come up when you are halfway reading something.

    Agreed, if I did want to sign up it would be when I've finished, not when I'm trying to read your own bloody content. I often sign up using their own domain with something like sales@ or something ruder. Petty, but it's a small vent. and if one person stops because of it I can die happy.

  • Lots of the industrial programming languages are very different to "normal"/"proper" programming languages, and I can see them being localised.

    For example, this is (PLC programming language) Ladder Logic code:

  • Do you use a macro keyboard for shortcuts? If so, what for and what size?

  • It works great and the config is simple. It doesn't handle triggering things from those keypresses, but you've probably already got something running that does that.

  • Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?

    Jump

  • I happily use Helix for Rust, etc projects, and as a general editor. I switch back to VSCode for TypeScript/Svelte projects because the plugins make it more productive for me. I do miss the editing experience and need to check if there's a VSCode plugin that lets me not confuse my muscle memory.

    Helix was the thing that finally made me remap my caps lock key to esc.

  • I just had mine arrive yesterday!

    I have one of these

    I'm using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it, because I don't fancy running some random closed-source Chinese code (the manual links to a file on Google Drive). It also means I can move over my config when I switch to Linux.

    I have two keys for switching between headphones and speakers, and some set up for shortcuts I forget (like ctrl-shift-e for the network monitor in Firefox). One key types "hello" just because I can.

    I've got the large knob controlling volume, and I can click it to toggle mute. The other two are currently set to scroll, but I don't need that as my mouse has better ergonomics for scrolling.

    I still have plenty of unused keys and it's got three layers so I won't be running out in the foreseeable future.
